1972 Blazer - 'Bullet' Project

Got it - thanks everybody.

I went another direction and got an electronic vacuum pump instead - works like a champ and gives me a solid brake pedal all the time.

I turn the key and it fires up for about 5 seconds when I start the truck and then only kicks in during driving when it notices that the vacuum is low.

Pretty slick.

Pump rests on the core support so it is out of the way in the engine bay.

I need to get you guys some updated pix since I got the different rims/exhaust on this thing.

Any info on the electric pump you used would be appreciated.

Sure - here is the pump that I got:

SSBS Electric Vacuum Pump

A few new pix as well...new exhaust installed, new brakes all around, vacuum pump installed.

I have a few sets of bucket seats that I am hoping to trade/sell to get a set of blue buckets down the road, but no rush on that yet - want to be sure I have a solid driver w/o issues before I attack cosmetic items.

I am having a hard time lining up the doors on this thing.

I checked the passenger side door and the hinge area is cracked. I do have a few doors to pick from. I hope that they are all not cracked in the same spot.

I pulled the hatch and the rusty tailgate today to make some room to fix the floor back there.

Ok - some updates.

Finally took the top off this thing since I have owned it. All the rust is gone in the lower A an B pillars of the truck - only the windshield frame and a few spots in the rear bed is left to fix.

I could not get the doors dialed in so I took another set and bolted them on. They were much closer to the other set that I had from the start...

I also cleaned up the bedsides now that the top is off and coated them in rust preventative paint.
